Chelsea’s attempt to sign Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho is one of the most gripping sagas unfolding on deadline day.

The Blues have been extremely busy again during the summer transfer window, and there’s speculation that there could still be new arrivals on Friday’s deadline.

Man United winger Jadon Sancho, 24, is currently being linked with a possible move to Stamford Bridge.

It was first claimed by journalist Fabrizio Romano via X on Friday afternoon that Chelsea have submitted a bid to sign Sancho. Apparently, the deal is an initial loan proposal, and the player is open to joining Enzo Maresca’s side.

Now, there’s been an update this evening about the future of the Englishman.

Manchester United request on Jadon Sancho transfer

Fabrizio Romano reports on Friday evening that Sancho has now agreed a deal to join Chelsea. However, a move between the Premier League clubs is not finalised yet as the clock ticks down on deadline day.

It is explained that Man United are insisting that Chelsea agree to their conditions to be met on a buy clause and salary coverage before allowing the transfer to progress.

Jadon Sancho has a point to prove in the Premier League

There’s no doubt that Sancho has a point to prove in England because his form in Man United colours has been nowhere near as good as when he’s played for Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Chelsea’s interest in Sancho may seem odd to some because they’re already stacked with quality wingers in their first-team squad. Let’s wait and see if the Man United wide man does arrive in the next few hours to strengthen competition even further, though.

It looks like Sancho’s route into the XI at Old Trafford may be blocked this campaign, so you can understand a deadline day exit. However, there has to be question marks around the motive to join Chelsea.
